Recording artiste Delus has been receiving a lot of support for his single 'Afraid to Love Again'. The single has also sparked much debate on social media from his fans about his personal life. 'Afraid to Love Again' speaks about his heart breaks and relationships and shows a more vulnerable side of the artiste.

He shared "the inspiration for this song was based on true events in my life. Most people who have been in relationships and break up because of infidelity can relate to this song". The single produced by World Union on the 'Four Seasons Riddim' came after the success of 'Another Gal' which was released in January of 2011. 'Another Gal' also spoke about infidelity in relationships but, if you follow the storyline carefully Delus released another single entitled 'Mi Find Her' in December of the same year; now he is afraid to love again!

The Subkonshus signed artiste has since released 'Love Hates You' produced by Broxton Music and let us not forget the popular 'Gallis (From Birth)' single by Blaqk Sheep. When asked about his present relationship status and the releases of these story telling singles he had this to say,"I honestly had not planned that these songs be released in any particular order; I guess it's just musical destiny. As for my relationship status, I am sure my music will give you updates".

Delus is set to release his EP in March 2015 and possibly the lady interest influencing the lyrics behind his singles.

Having secured all of three nominations in the prestigious Youth View Awards (YVA's), 2014 dancehall sensation, Kalado, says he wants to thank all his fans 'Personally'.

It comes as no surprise to those with their fingers on the pulse of the music that the deejay - whose song 'Personally' made serious inroads last year in the psyche of the massives - has been shortlisted in three categories for the chart-topping single. Kalado's name pops up beside Personally in the following slots for the awards show which caters to the "young, hot and hype": Favourite Local Video, Hottest Summer Song and Favourite Local Chart Topping Song.

Produced by DrDre for his DreDay Productions, the song was "marked for success", Kalado insists, adding however, that even he was a bit bowled over by three nominations. "Honestly, I sort of expected some form of recognition….maybe one nomination. When I was told that we got three, I couldn't speak. It is a humbling and an inspiring experience all at once. Big respect to P Square, all Kalado fans everywhere in the world and of course, the production team," he said.

According to Kalado, "From I listened to the riddim, I knew which song would be a perfect fit with the right dancehall mix, so we went full speed ahead," the deejay recalled of the song which went on to become one of the biggest summer anthems for 2014. Personally is listed in the Hottest Summer Song category alongside Miami Vice (Kartel); Holiday Again (Alkaline); Everything Nice (JCapri); Syvah (Ding Dong); So Mi Like It (Spice) and Reserve It (Popcaan).

A great summer song needs an equally great dancing video, one which captures the imagination. Kalado and his team worked this angle with gusto and produced a slick music video which helped to propel the single's success. Personally is vying for the best video alongside So Mi Like It (Spice); Everything Nice (Popcaan); Syvah (Ding Dong) and Who Knows (Protoje featuring Chronixx).

In the category, Favourite Local Chart Topping Song, Kalado is up against Vybz Kartel with two nominations, Kranium and Popcaan.

"All I'm asking my peeps to do is vote," the thrice-nominated Kalado declared.

The Youth View Awards, which has a total of 24 categories covering all areas of entertainment, will be held on February 21, 2015.
